ADDITIONAL MATERIAL EXAMINED. Mongolia (new record): Khovd Province ,

Bulgan Sum, Bulgan-Gol River , oasis, 4–5.VII.1966, 1 ♀, leg. B. Namhaidorj [ IBU]; [Khovd

Province], Altai Sum, 5 km SW Altai, lower reaches of Bodonchin-Gol River , 11.VIII 1968 ,

2 ♀, leg. [M.A.] Kozlov [ ZISP]; [Khovd Province], Altai Sum, 12 km SW Altai, BodonchinGol River , 22.VII 1970 , 1 ♀, 1 ♂ leg. [M.A.] Kozlov [ ZISP] ( Figs 9–13 View Figs 9–13 , 15 View Figs 14–16 ) .

REMARKS. It is of note that most material from Mongolia was collected by M.A. Kozlov

(1936–2006), an outstanding Soviet and Russian entomologist, not P.K. Kozlov (1863–1935), a famous Russian and Soviet traveler, who collected the type specimen of Celonites kozlovi

Kostylev, 1935 (this is not reflected on the labels but is obvious from the dates).

DISTRIBUTION. Mongolia (Khovd Province), China (Gansu).

paralectotype; 15 – Q. mongolica from Mongolia (Khovd Province); 16 – Q. funebris

Kostylev, 1935, paralectotype. Scale bar 0.25 mm.

DIAGNOSIS. Clypeus with rather flat anterior surface; frons sparsely punctate, with interstices exceeding puncture diameter, with evident reticulate microsculpture; gena evenly rounded, without an angle posteriorly; mesoscutum sparsely punctate, with shining interstices significantly exceeding puncture diameter; tegula elliptic, evenly rounded laterally, not narrowing posteriorly; terga densely but rather finely punctate; male tergum 7

with a deep narrow emargination apically at center. Male genitalia as in Figs 14–15 View Figs 14–16 .

Coloration variable: specimens from Mongolia ( Figs 9–13 View Figs 9–13 ) are much darker than the typical form from China ( Figs 1–3, 5–8 View Figs 1–8 ). Female tergum 6 and male tergum 7 are deep yellow in the type series but rather orange in the Mongolian material .
